Yes, er well -----, have done most of those. 'The Times Are A-Changin' was done in 2008 by Jake and Al.W., not 1968. I often wondered whether their star was a joke, like the star for Bert's Fear, another grunt, which I never did.

Ha, I didnt check that very well - I searched for 1968 in the FA: 'Jake Bresnehan, Alan Williams, Jan 2008 (not 1968!).' Also Sentinel Ridge was done earlier but has a variant in the FA section from 1968.

Well Phil, I've done nearly none of them!!

That doesn't surprise me! 'The Times
Are(Have) been a Changin'. And I do like sports routes. When I can get up them.
